462.0. "Alpha Visual C++ 4.2 Status?" by ODIXIE::DWILLIAMS () Wed Feb 12 1997 09:02

    Help!!
    
                         
    What is the current story to tell customers with Intel and Alpha NT
    environments who want (maybe demand is a better word!) Visual C++ 4.2
    on all the machines???
    
    The latest note I see in 361 on this is from August 1996...
    
    If available, how would a customer get this software ??
    
    Thanks,

    The latest OFFICIAL release of VC++ for Alpha is version 4.0A, which is
    functionally equivalent to Intel V4.1.
    
    A LIMITED release of V4.2 for the Alpha architecture is available on an
    as-needed basis. Here are the requirements:
    
    1. Must have purchased an Alpha version of VC++ (V4.0 or V4.0A).
    2. Must have a good reason as to why they need V4.2.
    3. Must be shipping a product BEFORE 5/31/97.
    
    If it is at all possible, I would prefer to have customers use a beta
    version of V5.0.
    
    If you have a customer who fits this profile, send a message to Eric
    Getsinger ([email protected]). In the message, include the following
    information:
    
    Company name
    Street address (no PO boxes)
    Contact name
    Contact phone
    Contact fax
    Contact Internet address
    
    As I mentioned above, be sure to thoroughly explain the need for V4.2.
